1. You know whats sad

Its not going to end soon, unlike germany or japan we idnt level thier entire civilization and we wernt going against religious ideology, you can be quite adverse to colonization when your religion is "SOMEWHAT" based (NOT ENTIRELY!) on driving out infidels and they did a wonderful job in afganistan and they will do it here. Also the belying about "SUPPORT" will be pissed away SEEING AS bush IS quite Adroit at it, and how ironic that its pretty hard to deny were losing seeing as to Rumsfields dumbass memo was leaked to the press and wolfowits almost too a morter in the ass. Damn whats sad is i feel for the troops and the people of iraq nostalgia will soon set in and they will be worse off than with saddam as the old islamic axiom goes "I Will fight my cousin, i will fight my brother, together we will all three fight a foreigner" (that off course is not verbatim, but a translation)

ONE HAS TO ASK WHY THE DISCREPANCY???? And 411 is probably not the tip of the iceberg.

One may want to ask - why do we need such a big new costly mortuary???

5. add five more

lunaville has it at 356 american dead, plus add a brit, plus add a spaniard. We're 144 away from an even 500, when we get there, provided they don't cut off all information before then maybe people will notice what the hell is going on in the name of peace.
